How are the west michigan rivers???

[Satchel]

I was hoping to run up to the Manistee or little Man, or maybe the PM or the Muskegon at the end of this week for a couple of days of fishing. how much rain has that area had and how are the water levels looking? Help from the locals would be appreciated. I know there are all kinds of links to graphs and such, but nothing works as well for me as a local with eyes on the rivers and the rains in the area. Also any reports of fish running would be helpful if there are any.

We have flooding going on now on all the rivers, streams and creek's in SW Michigan. They don't expect them to "Crest" until Thursday. I would guess the next week will be a wash.

Pretty much what I figured was the case. Just thought there might be an odd chance of it being wrong. Guess I'll stay home and work on things around here.

Try Baldwin Bait & Tackle for info-I know they have a website with updated conditions and stream reports for that area.

I just called Gates Au Sable lodge an hour ago and booked a room for the doughgod and me and they said that they got wind but not much rain---The rivers are great and fishable---Most of the rain was south of them.

You guys are killing me. Good luck on the upcoming trip and don't forget to post a trip report.

If you are going to be there next week, say hello I will be arriving at Gates Sunday noon and will be having fun with the pre-spawning brookies and browns all week.

I'm with you, Tim. We can sit around and moan and bellyache. Whining would be good too.
